Shulchan Aruch
The Code of Jewish Law
Book • 1565
The Shulchan Aruch, written by Rabbi Yosef Caro and supplemented by Rabbi Moshe Isserles, is a foundational text of Jewish law.
It is divided into four sections: Orach Chaim (laws of prayer, Shabbat, and holidays), Yoreh Deah (laws of kosher, usury, vows, etc.
), Even HaEzer (laws of marriage and divorce), and Choshen Mishpat (monetary laws and torts).
The work aims to clarify Jewish law by presenting all known sources on particular issues, especially addressing the differences between Sephardic and Ashkenazic customs.
It has become the standard legal code of Judaism and is widely consulted by rabbis and scholars.
